“Predictable loss. Tony will be pleased”
“Typical Mowbray league cup performance, he wasn’t bothered whether we won or not.
I don’t know why anybody bothers turning up to watch.”
“They wanted it more than us”
“Another embarrassing home defeat. The Yorkshire lot just wanted it more . . .”
“Oh well, at least we can concentrate on the battle to finish 21st now. I don’t know if I can stand the excitement.”
“Only a cup game but still lots to be concerned about. 1000% need reinforcements.”
“The loss is inconsequential …the lack of Championship standard players is alarming”
“Sobering night. Almost every player not up to it”
“I suppose if we were going to have a collectively horrendous game with major mistakes then I’d rather it was in the cup than in the league. With that said, this is probably a worrying glimpse into the future when we inevitably start picking up injuries and suspensions.”
“Too many of our senior players had a poor game. Morishita. Carter. Cantwell. Fevrier.
Just felt like a kick around or a friendly based on the line-up, which isn’t surprising. An experiment to see who might step up.”
“Quite simply, the issue highlighted tonight was how poor the squad is. 2 excellent performances in the league and a win at Burton covered over a lot of cracks. Quite simply, our squad is so poor that there is no alternative but to try and protect our very small pool of good players. We are 5/6/7 players short of a competitive squad.”
“For the first time this season, the game went pretty much exactly as I expected. Our second XI versus theirs, which was much stronger than ours on paper. We had a go in the second half, but we just lacked quality.”
“Their reserves better than our reserves.
They bring on Phillips we bring on children.
Hopeless situation the club is in. Miracles needed to keep the best fit.”
“They brought on ex-PL players, we brought on Academy kids.”
“To be honest we looked much better generally that I thought we would…”
“Could’ve gone either way despite a poor performance.”
“We’ll take the 3pts in the league.”
“I don’t care we have gone out but I don’t like the blades.
